Growing up.David Flink struggled （努力） in school though he was smart.He had a hard time focusing in class，and he didn't understand why he couldn't learn the way other students did. "I could either be the silent kid or I could be the bad kid.So，I started acting out，" he said.Flink was often asked to leave the classroom because of the trouble he caused.
   "At one point，my desk was moved to the hallway，" he said. "But then I had this message sent to me that I didn't belong （適應(yīng)） in a classroom."
   It was in a hallway where Flink met his first mentor （導(dǎo)師），the school cleaner."He got to know me，and finally we started playing chess，" Flink said. "There was no need for him to take an interest in my life，but he did anyhow.And that saved me."
   With the support of his parents and the right school，F(xiàn)link graduated high school and went to Brown University.When he got to college，he found a community of students who also had learning differences.Together with five of them，F(xiàn)link started a mentoring program for nearby primary school students who had a learning disability.They called the program Eye to Eye.
   Since 1998，Eye to Eye has grown into a nationwide non-profit organization that pairs middle school children who have a learning difference with a college or high school mentor who also has a learning difference.Eye to Eye' s curriculum （課程） uses art as a self-expression tool.Every lesson tries to move students from self-doubt to confidence.
   While Flink enjoys hearing about the academic （學業(yè)的） success Eye to.
   Eye brings to children，there's something more he finds satisfying. "It's satisfying when I hear that because they were in Eye to Eye，they now better understand somebody else's experience who's different from them- this is what we need，" Flink said. "We have to love each other across our differences."
